NHTSA recall 23V688000
Visibility · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The electronic cabin coolant heater module may be missing a solder joint, which can cause intermittent or no cabin heat and result in an inoperative windshield defrosting and defogging system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, "windshield defrosting and defogging systems."
Why it matters: An inoperative windshield defrosting and defogging system may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the electronic cabin coolant heater, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 3, 2024.
